Looking for a 5th Grade Math Review?

Are you looking for a different type of math worksheet for your fifth graders? Perhaps you have just finished your unit on whole number operations, or maybe you are reviewing for an end-of-year assessment. Once your students have learned about how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers, this would be a great time to introduce Teach Starter’s math mats to your students! This set of 3 math mats will keep your students engaged while practicing those important computation skills with decimals.

With this set of math mats, students are expected to:

  • Multiply and Divide by single-digit numbers
  • Multiply and divide by double-digit numbers
  • Locate approximate positions of where a number falls on a number line
  • Skip count by given numbers and find common multiples
  • Identify prime and composite numbers
  • And more!

Students can be given different mats, so they don’t have the same mat as the student sitting next to them. If students have time, they can complete multiple mats and color as many of the details as they would like. These math mats make a great activity after a test, as morning work after a unit is complete, or as an enrichment for early finishers. When finished, these can also be displayed on a bulletin board in the classroom.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!
